Perverted young inventor. Curly black hair, moustache, short and fat. Always smoking cigarettes. Sometimes, he tries to become sexy or heroic, at which time he becomes briefly "realistically drawn," an effect that only lasts 3 minutes. Senbee loves reading dirty magazines, and will create inventions just so that he can see women in the nude. Since something usually goes wrong with his creations, he has been nicknamed "Dr. Slump." If you were to campare him to anyone in Dragonball, it would be Master Roshi.
Arale Norimaki aka Arale-chan
The little girl robot that Senbee creates in volume one. While she is supposed to be perfect, her eyesight is bad, and she has no common sense. In later volumes, she is characterized by her thick glasses, a cap that reads 'Arale-chan', her common greeting of N-cha (a shortened form of "hello"), and a love for playing with turds, and pro-wrestling. Very, very strong. Starts out as Senbee's "little sister," and is enrolled in junior high school as a test of his inventing skills.
Ga-chan
A trip to the past provides Arale and Senbee with an egg that they take with them to the present. The egg hatches to reveal... a human child with green hair, antenna, and wings. Arale combines "Godzilla" with "Gamera" to get "Gajira"; shortened to Ga-chan. Ga-chan speaks in nonsense peeping that only Arale can interpret, and will eat anything, including dirt, but with the exception of rubber. Vol. 1 Later, Ga-chan grows a cocoon to give birth to Ga-chan 2. It is revealed in volume 17 that Ga-chan is an angel, left here in its egg, by God.
Sensei Midori Yamabuki
Arale's teacher, and the object of Senbee's constant sexual attentions. Very beautiful, tall and blonde, she is also intelligent, and unfazed by nearly everything that happens around her. Eventually marries Senbee.
Turbo Norimaki
Senbee and Midori's son. (How this happened is not quite clear, as Senbee is still trying to simply look at Midori's panties, and it's difficult to believe that he has actually had the chance to have sex with her.) Killed by aliens who then resurrect him using incomplete data for humans, little baby Turbo has amazing powers: telekinesis, the ability to speak, and is a greater technical genius than Senbee (while Senbee can create a spaceship within a week, Turbo can make one materialize in a couple of seconds.) A bit smaller than Ga-chan, with a bit of blond hair in front, and flies around in his bib.
Akane Kimidori
Arale's classmate. Tall, curly blonde, and initially very tough. Usually just a sidekick, but occasionally enjoys playing pranks on people, and using heavy weapons. Akane means "dark red".
